Extend an Invitation to Come Back Home to Christ and His Church.
Do you know someone who has left the Church? Most of us do not have to look very far to find non practicing Catholics in our circle of family and friends. Many of us are concerned about these loved ones, but we don’t know how to help them. Obviously, most of them are searching, but how can we help them find their way home? As baptized, practicing Catholics, we have a precious gift of faith and love from the Lord that needs to be shared with our non-practicing brothers and sisters. First, we need to pray for them. We need to extend a personal invitation to return. Many mistakenly think they are excommunicated and are not welcome to return for a variety of reasons. Many non-practicing Catholics carry with them a tremendous amount of guilt and misinformation about the Church and are afraid of approaching the Church for fear of being rejected. You can make a tremendous difference in someone’s life simply by reaching out to them to come back home to our Church family. Here at Holy Cross Catholic Church we have a special program to help nonpracticing Catholics return to the Church entitled “Catholics Returning Home.” Please pass this article on to anyone who might be interested.

Quiet time spent with the Lord is the best form of prayer. Msgr. Deutsch recommends that we all make the effort to spend one hour a week in silent prayer before our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration. We need a Eucharistic Adorer for a number of hours on our schedule. A list of times is located on the table by the Adoration Chapel. If you can help, contact Fran at 630-973-9559.
